John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."

26th lesson = God's Purpose in loving the Human Being

 
 
 

The purpose to be lived in Pentecost.

After Calvary when Jesus was resurrected, he is no longer in the tomb and yes, he is live. It is beautiful and wonderful to know that Jesus did not stay on earth, for this he had told his disciples that the kernel must die, but would not remain alone. Jesus was raised and after that he was ascended to heaven, and sent us the Comforter that He has promised us. He said he would produce much fruit. The fruit that He produced was a lot of eternal life to all who accept the price He paid for us. One day Jesus had told the disciples that He would send another Comforter like Him to be with us. Jesus said that He had to go to the Father to send another Comforter.
In Jn. 14:16 says: "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever--." The Holy Spirit is with us forever, this is a very high purpose to be lived, for God to dwell within us forever. The Holy Spirit came to dwell in us is another stage of life with a purpose that God has for us. God does not leave us orphans, He comes and makes a living in us. Here we do not want to debate how to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit, but the purpose to be lived this fact. You see Jesus had said that the Church would do the same works that He did and in Jo. 14:12, for this to happen, he had to come to dwell even greater in us.
Let me ask you something. Have You given our wonderful God room to have the opportunity to live the purpose He has here on earth through you? Or is your "I" seated on the throne of your life and Jesus cannot use you? God is aware of the fact that Satan will do everything possible to ruin what God does in us and through us. For this reason God comes and dwells in the human to be in Him and protect him from the attack of the enemy.
For this reason God comes and dwells in human beings in order to be able to be in them and protect them from attack of the enemy. Just as satan tried to destroy the human being the first time, he will try to do this always. us. God had a very high purpose in coming to dwell within us. With God living within us it becomes impossible that evil will be able to harm us. The Bible says that evil cannot touch us. - "We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him" - 1 Jn. 5:18 Once we are born of God, the devil cannot touch us anymore. We are kept in the palm of our God. God saves us, this is the purpose that is to be lived, we are saved by God himself. "See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me" - Isaiah 49:16.
 
Therefore, God then sends the Spirit of Truth to dwell in us while we walk here on earth. In this way, God can use us as He used Jesus to continue the good work that He started. Jesus promised to send the Comforter. “And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever-” John 14:16. Jesus had given them every instruction as they should wait in Jerusalem until they were endued and filled with the Holy Spirit from above. The day of Pentecost came, and you can read it in Acts 2. God sends the Holy Spirit to the Church of Jesus here on earth. He came down and filled them all, and he fills all who believe the promises as we seek God's Word. Every child of God by seeking His presence receives Him. The purpose to be lived in this factor is the fact that with God Himself living in us that makes us God's Family. We are one with Him as Jesus prayed before He was crucified. Jesus wanted us to be one with Him as He was one with the Father Jesus made a point of declaring all here in his earthly life that was necessary to constitute that his purpose in us.
John describes in the priestly prayer of Jesus in chapter 17. Vs 18-23 tells us the following:
18 As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world.
Jesus Prays for All Believers
19 For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.
20 "My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message,
21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one:
23 I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
Have you ever meditated on on the fact how precious it is to be sent by Jesus as the Father sent him? Jesus, the human being, sanctifies himself according to verse 19, here on earth so that he could sanctify us in the truth. Then he goes on saying that his prayers are not only for them but for those who will believe in Him through their message; that is You and I, as well. Check out the verses above taht we just quoted.
 
Both you and I by believing in Jesus, we receive Him as Lord and Savior of our lives, because we believe in the Word by the fact that we hear and believe in Him. This blessing has reached us also, and will reach many more. Jesus wants to reach every human being for this He asked His Father, He wants us to be one as He was with the Father, and the Father was in him. And Jesus wants all of us who form the Church of Jesus here on earth be one with Jesus and God the Father, so that the world may believe that God the Father sent Jesus to this Mission.
Here on earth we can prove by DNA if a person is our child and with the birth certificate. You and I can prove that we are children of God, when the DNA of our God is in us. I call this the DNA of God here, to understand what I want to say. Jesus gave us the glory which the Father gave to Him, that we are all one. Just as He and the Father are one. This is what I call the DNA of God, this proves that we are children of God. When Jesus comes into our life, we become one again with God, and this oneness is what it is all about. The Bible says that when we are in God, the evil cannot touch us anymore. We are safe indeed. The Holy Spirit dwells only within the children of the True and Living God.
This is concrete proof that we are of God when He sends us his Spirit to dwell in us; and this is a very high purpose to be lived here on this earth. This was the purpose to be lived through Pentecost, and I believe that God gives each of us a wonderful experience; when we are filled with the Holy Spirit. Some experience many emotions at this time and others do not, actually it also depends on our temperaments that we have in us. Each and every one of us has a different personality and we react and co act uniquely in our own way. God also interacts with us in a specific way. The Holy Spirit is a respecter of Person; therefore your experience will be in such a way that will fulfill you spiritually to fullest. There are people in order to feel the presence of God everything needs to be quiet and peaceful, others like lots of noise and exteriorization in a loud voice, praising Hallelujah. God made us unique and perfect. No two people are exactly alike here on earth. And the utterance and the manifestation of the Holy Spirit in us is not the same in all people.
The Holy Spirit gives us spiritual gifts to work here on earth, so we can complete the work that Jesus began. Jesus died for all who would believe in Him might have life. One day as the Apostle was talking about this, he began to question about it, let us read about it in the passage. “Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ” Rom. 10:17. The Apostle Paul was trying to debate how the people could get saved if they did not believe, and how they could receive salvation if they did not know Christ. Faith comes by hearing the message of Christ, and this is one of the gifts the Holy Spirit gives to the believers; the gift of preaching the Gospel of Jesus.
 
A person can only believe if he hears about the love that God has for him. This is one reason why we are dedicating our time to write this book so that you can know God's Word in your heart as you read it. The Bible says that God speaks to us in many ways and recently spoke by his Son. “In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe”  - Heb. 1:1-2.
 
Jesus sent his disciples to go and preach, announcing to every creature about his love and that Jesus came to save that what was lost. For this, the Holy Spirit descended to enable us to go and fulfill this mandate. The Holy Spirit gives us spiritual gifts so we can do the work He has entrusted to us. The Dictionary says that: When someone is mandated to carry out a particular policy or task, they are given the official authority to do it. (FORMAL). Jesus gave all those that believe in Him, the authority to go and preach the Gospel in His Name. Both you and I do not think we need to do this all on our own effort. God provided everything for us; this is the purpose to be lived in Pentecost. You and I are part of it as well; the same anointing and fulfilling the disciples received, we receive it as well. We are part of the Body of Christ; the Church of Christ here on Earth. God chose us to go and seek what was lost, so that they too can know Jesus, He also equips us with everything we need. Being the dwelling place of the Most High, and having gifts coming from Him, to use for the sake of Evangelisation of the lost is the purpose to be lived in Pentecost. I do not have conditions to understand how God comes and makes in us His dwelling place after the we turned our back on Him; He chooses us, loves us, saves us, heals us, cleanses us, purifies us, and makes us his ambassadors here on earth, to represent Him and his Kingdom. You and I are ambassadors of Christ here on earth.
 
The Church of Jesus represents the Kingdom of God here on earth, so that people see God in us, because he literally lives in us. When the Bible says God recently spoke to us through his Son, the Son says to us: "As the Father has sent me, I send you." You and I need to be filled with the Holy Spirit so that we can carry out all that He has sent us to do because we are not able to do everything on our own qualification.
